$700 and no physical drive. Starting to have more doubt around PS6 launching with a model including a physical media drive. But that's a topic for later I reckon.

I wonder how much this drive will cost, I kinda dont mind this for some strange reason. If you can buy cheaper without the drive because you don’t need to then it’s fine. I have some PS4 disks that I would like to use so might buy this drive that you can attach. I hope it’s not expensive.

For a tech enthusiast console, that presentation was really lacking

I still haven't heard a reasonable argument why you shouldn't just buy a gaming computer and a couple logitech controllers.

it’s becoming pretty clear that the goal of all media is that we no longer get to physically own it and that really sucksit’s becoming pretty clear that the goal of all media is that we no longer get to physically own it and that really sucks

absolutely ridiculous. i’ll stick to my Switch and MacBook

They are trying to prepare us for a next gen without physical media.

After the PS5, we just got a nice gaming PC and called it good. The exclusives aren't even a draw anymore.

It's interesting how geopolitics contributes to the need or lack of need for a physical drive. I live in Uruguay, where physical gaming media is twice the cost in the US, because of import taxes. I'd go broke buying only physical, and stores here don't carry indie games at all.

Can't be the only one been thinking about this 🤔

Seems the only reason to buy a console instead of even a low- or mid-range gaming PC would be exclusive titles
